I decided to do a take on the trend myself.<br /><br />I think an essential component to wearing black and white without looking gaunt or dated is a really nice pattern. There are the classic patterns that never fail like checkers, hounds tooth, chevron and of course... stripes! Here is an example of how to do a more subtle b&amp;w look<br /><br /><!--BEGIN HYPE WIDGET--><script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="http://lookbook.nu/look/widget/5044822.js?include=all&amp;size=medium&amp;style=button&amp;align=center"></script><br /><div id="hype_container_5044822"></div><!--END HYPE WIDGET-->Subtle is nice, but bold is more fun! I chose to try out something a little funkier. I chose a geometric pattern with lots of triangles because: I love triangles, I found this adorable little crop top with cutouts at Buffalo Exchange with said pattern, why not?!<br /><br />I have the top and the idea in my head, so I set forth on my journey toward monochromatic awesomeness.<br />I recently bought a pair of black sandals from hautelook (great website for the bargain shopper). They're simple so they go perfectly with the busyness of the top. They aren't competing for attention.<br />The last component of the outfit is the most difficult for me because there are just so many options!<br />You could pair the crop with some black shorts or cutoffs for a more fun look, or you could wear a black maxi skirt for something a little more bohemian/romantic, or a bodycon skirt for date night. The possibilities are endless! I decided to settle on a pair of my favorite pants, black high waist jeans. I could dress this up or down.<br /><br />I have my base, now to accessorize! Any sort of simple jewelry would work here, but I'm going to stick with the monochromatic theme here. I chose black and silver jewelry, but any combination black, grey, white, silver should work just fine.<br /><br /><!--BEGIN HYPE WIDGET--><script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="http://lookbook.nu/look/widget/5152364.js?include=all&amp;size=medium&amp;style=button&amp;align=center"></script><br /><div id="hype_container_5152364"></div><!--END HYPE WIDGET-->I made a necklace to go with my outfit.

I'm starting my blog! Welcome to The Fashion Plate. In all honesty I have no idea what I'm doing, but that's okay!</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love food and fashion and I can't wait to start blogging on here regularly. I have a lookbook and I love it. I noticed most of the accomplished lookbookers have a blog. I am hopping on that bandwagon. If you would like to see my looks they're located at&nbsp;<a href="http://lookbook.nu/thebrokenhip"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">http://lookbook.nu/thebrokenhip</span></a> and at&nbsp;<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://the-broken-hip.tumblr.com/" itemprop="url" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">http://the-broken-hip.tumblr.com</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span">Here's an example of what I post</span></span></span><br /> <!--BEGIN HYPE WIDGET--><script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="http://lookbook.nu/look/widget/4676597.js?include=all&size=medium&style=button&align=center"></script><div id="hype_container_4676597"></div><!--END HYPE WIDGET--> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Anyway, I'm hoping this blog will become helpful to those interested in fashion and/or food. I'll be writing what to wear, how to wear it, where to get it, how to make it and things of that nature.&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">This has gotten kind of rambly, so until next time!</span></span>Adrienne Greenblatthttps://plus.google.com/110684597538250459322noreply@blogger.com0
